As the supply of customs has reduced in the Japanese conglomerate. No more big twins overflowing with cm3, in Europe anyway. Only the medium-displacement still have the right to sneak between the imposing American ones. The playing field is thus still active, almost playful.. With its 950 Bolt … sorry, XV 950, Yamaha has acquired the little troublemaker that was lacking in Japanese customs. Stripped down, favoring the raw look, inspired by dry pleasure, this bobber targets the essentials, and the Harley 883 Sportster market.
The standard version is no longer renewed; and it is the R version, adapted to Euro4 standards, which is responsible for defending Yam’s stronghold in the sector. Far from bringing a Racing touch, it mainly offers some additional equipment. The Bolt R is thus equipped with shock absorbers with separate cylinder, significantly improving comfort, an imitation “deerskin” saddle, a colored band on the tank and ABS as standard..
It’s hard to believe that this machine is cousin to the 950 Midnight Star. However, it shares the same twin of 942 cm3, however retouched for a more urban character. A little less powerful, it delivers its 52 horsepower a little earlier than on the cruiser, and its maximum torque is a little stronger. However, the apostolate is eaten differently. The sensations and vibrations side is highlighted on the Bolt. The engine, without a balancing arm, is rigidly mounted in this new double steel cradle frame. What distribute some vibrations wisely. From there to consider American-style pulsations … There is still a step to be taken, the search for perfection of Japanese machines having a solid reputation for erasing mechanical defects. Let’s not complain, it promises anyway a playful and rebellious machine, perfectly suited to being more wild with customization exercises..
